But I thought these "writing prompt" stories were meant to be short? Also, by profiles I mean like personnel files.

I guess I didn't really see it as needing a problem, because it's only a writing exercise. However, you do have a good point. Also, the whole "I would smash their face in the cake" thing doesn't really sit well with me, because it isn't really "not liking cake"; it's a cultural thing. Like imagine if someone who didn't know their friend was Jewish threw a Christmas party for them, and the Jewish friend was like "Uh.... thanks for the effort, but I'm, y'know, Jewish", it wouldn't be right to get angry at them.
You have a point. I guess this story was kind of a flop. I hope I do better next time.
It's good to practise as much as possible and even if something doesn't quite come out the way you intended, you can rewrite it, or you can try again with a new prompt. Each ficlet you do can teach you more about your agents!
I also wrote ficlets about my agents to prompts... oh my god, eleven years ago. This is surreal.

And why would personnel files, which, I don't actually recall being a thing, be availible for random Agents to read?
